Why Quarter Sawn Tiger Oak?

Well, quarter sawn oak was a key feature of the decorative style of the American Arts and Crafts movement, particularly the work of Gustav Stickley, who is easily considered one of the finest furniture builders ever. He felt it was superior to any other wood used in furniture making. Cheaper copies of Stickley's furniture were sometimes made with the less-expensive woods stained to resemble oak, but it can be identified by its lack of "tiger striping".

Quarter Sawn oak, while somewhat expensive, has two distinct advantages:

(1) It is considerably stronger and more resistant against warping with changes in humidity, and (2) It can produce beautiful ray flake in the grain, often called tiger stripes. (3) It practically screams retro!

Sourcing the Wood

This wasn't exactly an easy task. Tiger Oak doesn't exactly grow on trees. Wait! Scratch that. You know what we mean... Anyway, in order to do this, we worked with Moog and their woodshop supplier. We specified the wood, and we prototyped a few finishes back and forth until it met our specs.

"One of my hobbies is collecting old tiger oak pieces of furniture, so I had a very distinct finish in mind that I wanted to see on these enclosures. I'm very happy with the outcome, and the first one is going home with me!" - Jake Langston, Head Dishwasher, Humbucker Music
